The 10 Worst Places To Live In California

In order to rank the worst places to live in California, we had to determine what criteria people like or dislike about a place. It isn’t a stretch to assume that people like low crime, solid education, great weather, things to do and a stable economy.

So this is the criteria we used:

Population Density (The lower the worse – meaning there isn’t a lot to do)

Highest Unemployment Rates

Adjusted Median Income (Median income adjusted for the cost of living)

High Housing Vacancy Rate

Education (Low expenditures per student and high Student Teacher Ratio)
